Learning Styles and Their Value There are numerous styles of learning, however, they are all combinations of the primary seven. Each holds its own value, depending on the person using it. If you can discover your style of learning, for what is at hand, it makes the job easier, whether it is writing a paper, listening to a lecture, teaching a class, or putting together a project. Your learning style is not necessarily just one style. Most people are capable of switching learning styles to fit the job. Below, I am going to touch on the seven primary styles of learning. I will also visit two other styles, that are just different combinations of the primary seven styles.

They do not like sitting in on lectures or chilling in front of the television for prolonged periods. They prefer to exercise, dance, run, write and draw. These things give them good physical sensations. Rather than read the directions to a game, they would prefer to jump right in and figure out as they go. When writing, they tend to be extremely descriptive in feeling, action words. “For example, a pilot might script as follows: 'I feel the friction as I push the throttle forward to start my takeoff run. The controls start to feel more responsive as I check the airspeed, oil pressure and temperature. At takeoff speed, I pull back slightly, and I feel the vibrations of the wheels stop as the plane leaves the ground. After a few moments, I reach down and set the gear selector to up. I feel the satisfying bump as the gear stops fully up '” (The Physical (Bodily-Kinesthetic) Learning Style, 2016). Logical learners “like creating agendas, itineraries, and to-do lists” (The Logical (Mathematical) Learning Style, 2016). Furthermore, they are great with numbers and especially complex math problems, such as calculus and trigonometry. Often times they solve them in their head without ever having written anything down. They learn through patterns, placing things into classifications while note taking, and love using
